Especially for …
Tailor-made modulesOrders and their changes can be automatically imported and processed at package level via numerous interfaces. Assembly times are already processed at package or product level for subsequent assembly planning.
Intelligent transportation and assembly planning ensures on-time delivery. Automated planning feedback to the manufacturer enables efficient production capacity utilization and a reduction in storage and staging areas for all parties involved. The dispatchers are informed about the volume, weight and order type of the transports by the graphical dispatching of the geographical location of the orders with shapes and colors. This makes the time required and the loading space capacity visible for each loading and unloading point.
The required assembly times are calculated on the basis of the package information. The calendar-based planning overview provides an overview of the resources deployed in terms of vehicles, people and machines, thus facilitating deployment planning. The special workflows in the driver app are used to document completeness and possible damage during delivery. Assembly instructions and manuals are provided digitally via the driver app. The working time is calculated using the recorded assembly and contract times.
Loading scanning digitally records all loading processes and detects differences and damage in good time. This means that delays in subsequent processes can be avoided in good time.
Various solutions are available for the notification of deliveries, depending on the recipient group. This ranges from a simple e-mail notification to a voice-controlled notification solution as an add-on.
With the driver app, all processes relevant to delivery are handled digitally. This also involves documenting the completeness of the delivery and recording any damage. The digital proof of delivery with the recipient’s signature is sent to the customer in real time after delivery and stored in an audit-proof and blockchain-secured manner.
The tariff structure covers the typical tariffs for the new furniture industry, such as by seat (sofa) or tour days, as well as the tariffs commonly used in freight forwarding.
